Paella catering near Maiden's Green
How we price paella catering
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The length of service
- Travel, parking and access
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Starters, canapés and desserts
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Anything your venue supplies
- The address or venue name
- The courses you’d like
- The date and time of the event
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
Paella catering for your event in Maiden's Green
A couple of different pans covers everyone: meat, seafood and vegetarian or vegan paellas. Every pan is cooked on its own, so diets are easy to manage. Typical bookings include family celebrations and christenings and staff parties and work lunches, with seafood paella, vegetable paella and paella Valenciana.
Somewhere like Maiden's Green, a field or garden is often the perfect setting. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it’s ready.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Common questions in Maiden's Green
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
What’s the nearest station to Maiden's Green for guests?
Martins Heron station, about 2.6 miles south of the centre.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We will talk it through before the day.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
How long do you need on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
What is live paella catering?
We arrive with pans, burners and ingredients, cook in front of your guests, and serve when you’re ready to eat.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.

Catering for every guest
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Plan seating for most guests: paella is easiest eaten sitting down
- Tell us what else is being served

If you’ve booked staff, they’ll serve, clear and help keep things moving, so you can relax.
Bread, salad and lemon wedges make the meal go further and suit guests who are not big rice eaters.
About the dishes
Black rice
Black rice looks dramatic and tastes of the sea.
Paella Valenciana
The original paella from Valencia is a countryside dish of chicken and vegetables, rather than seafood. It is frequently the most popular pan at an event.
